The Documents Biotech Investors Commonly Ask For at Seed, in Six Folders
A complete seed data room structure for a biotech or life sciences startup, organized around the areas investors typically review in due diligence. 22 documents across six folders - each one a spreadsheet you fill in, a print-ready PDF, and an explanation of what usually belongs in it and why you may be asked for it. Drop the folders into Google Drive and Orangedox turns them into a tracked virtual data room.
- Corporate Documents (6 documents) Proof the company legally exists, who owns it, and that it owns its science - including the university license.
- Pitch Deck and Memo (3 documents) The narrative layer: what the drug is meant to be, why the biology should work, and what this round buys.
- Financials (2 documents) Burn, runway, and the milestone this round funds.
- Market and GTM Strategy (3 documents) Who the drug is for, how many of them there are, and how it reaches them - alone, partnered, or acquired.
- Product (5 documents) The preclinical data, patent coverage, CMC plan, and regulatory path to IND.
- Team (3 documents) Who is doing this and why them - including the advisors and KOLs an investor may want to speak with.
Frequently asked questions
Your questions answered.
Most biotech seed data rooms cover six areas: corporate documents, the deck and memo, financials, market and strategy, the science and regulatory path, and the team. This pack gives you 22 documents across those areas, and each one explains what usually belongs in it rather than leaving you a blank template. What a specific investor requests will vary.
A deck is usually what gets you the meeting. A data room is often where interested investors, and their counsel, go next to review the supporting documents. At seed it does not need to be large, but it helps if it is complete and consistent with the deck.
Yes. Every document comes as a spreadsheet you can edit and a print-ready PDF, and they are yours to use however you like.
Yes, and that is the intended workflow. Recreate the folder structure in Google Drive, drop the templates in, and Orangedox turns that folder into a data room. Anything you add to the Drive folder later syncs automatically - no re-uploading.
Yes. Orangedox verifies each recipient's device rather than using a password, so a forwarded link does not open for someone else. You can also disable downloads entirely and watermark each page with the viewer's email address.
Yes, page by page. You can see who opened the data room, which documents they spent time in, and how long. If an investor spent twenty minutes in the IP folder, that can be a useful signal for what to prepare before the next call.
Yes. You control which documents each participant sees and can revoke access at any time, so you can open the science to one fund while keeping the license and cap table closed until later stages.
No. Unlike a Google Drive share, Orangedox never reveals the other recipients on a document or data room.
